rezeki diorang camtu, nak buat camane?
so what if we don't have their rezeki. we're all blessed anyway!!
we can read right? else you won't be reading this.
we can see right?
we can eat, taste, drink, talk, we can do so many things!
whereas there are people who are less fortunate than us. some can't see, some can't hear, some don't even know what internet is!

we are blessed.
we are fortunate enough.

it's time to stop comparing and complaining. i've made a video already about it kan? 'who wins' tu.
and here, i nak relate kan ngan bloggers. (and i'm sorry i bring this up)
a few times some people tag me on their blog posts, and some posts are about the number of followers on blogs. pastu duk compare compare. honestly, i rasa itu tak perlu.

anyway, when you compare, chances are; you'll become competitive for no good reason, you'll forget the rezeki that you already have, you'll become spoil in your own world, wanting and craving for something only you know, and because you can't get it, you'll get depressed. and when depression looms, negativity will become part of you.
when you complain, you're just wasting your time! lagi lagi when you complain and do nothing about it.
you can compare and complain, but there has to be a limit..

and we can't wish we're someone else or live someone else's life because it's not possible.
someone once said to me
"susah tau jadi i.." pastu ada sadface.
and i thought, well, it's never easy for anyone.

Allah swt has given us life, the life we're living, and is it 'nice' of us if we wished we can have another person's life?

be grateful. that's all it takes.
not confidence, not arrogance, not make up, not clothes.
nothing of the sort.

just be grateful.
maybe it's time to stop all this 'untunglah' thing. kita lebihkan 'alhamdulillah'. =)

if you really cannot get through the toughness in your life, you can't stop wanting something you don't have,
then here, let the words from Allah SWT guide you:

seriously, it's true. sometimes, i don't realize, and i WAS just among the girls who really love comparing things that were not important. You had made me realized about the REZEKI we already have and ,, the REZEKI that is waiting for us :) Thanks kak Maria !

Thank goodness you are not any of those typical bloggers who LOVES counting their number of followers, traffic and yadida yadida. I hope they will get the whole point of all this from ur blog! kudos to u!

omg you actually said what was actually on my mind! i have always thought that it sounds rather ungrateful when someone says "untunglah...". and as a matter of fact, it does make people feel quite upset too.

Thank you Maria! That's a clear example given. Well, sadly but this is a reality- people are living based on other's expectations :( Alhamdulillah your entry awaken me and I will InshAllah, learn on how to be thankful for what I have :)

i always used to want more in my life and was always complaining(dlm hati)

then one fine morning when i was heading to work, i saw this group of bangladesh workers on their bicycles meredah jalan raya yg sgt bahaye just nak cross ke tempat kerja diorang. and there i was before wishing i had a better car. *slaps myself*

what i'm trying to say is, while some people are struggling to make ends meat, we complain about not having a luxury car, not having designer clothes, or what other people have etc. it's true that everyone has their own set of problems and tests in life, i personally think no one has it easy regardless rich or poor. Allah tu maha adil. But at the end of the day, we should always be thankful for what we have, because no matter how hard the challenges we face in life, there will always be someone who has it harder.

We would never feel satisfy if we kept imagining something that we don't have. but, we would feel 'we are the richest person in the world', if we keep thinking and take care of everything that we have that Allah had gave us. So, keep thinking of what we have now and say 'Alhamdulillah'... =]

nothing much i can say except that i agree with u totally. :) and yeah, its good if we could practice "one page a day" thingy with the quran (tafsir) so that we know and learn, how meaningful the khazanah is. Insyaallah.

Salam...Alhamdulillah...Always be greatful for hidayah yang diberikan. Semoga perkahwinan dirahmati selamanya. By the way, would like to invite you to my blog; InsyaAllah, you may find something for you and your DH..:-)
